This sweet JVC receiver helps you enjoy the road

You're getting quite a road trip companion with JVC's KW-NT30HD navigation receiver. Maps and driving directions help you stay on course, and you can play your iPod®, enjoy digital HD Radio™ broadcasts, make hands-free calls, watch movies while you're parked, and even plug in your iPhone® and play audio from your favorite apps.

Easy-to-read maps and driving directions

Flat maps are fine, but sometimes you want to look deeper to get a better idea of where you are. The KW-NT30HD gives you lots of ways to view your maps, including a magnified split-screen view that shows you a closeup of your current location next to a broader overview of the area. You can check out the local speed limit at a glance, and the KW-NT30HD will even let you know what lane you should be in for your next maneuver. Text-to-speech technology calls out the name of the street for your next turn, letting you keep your eyes on the road.

You can update your maps through the SD™ card slot — you can even copy your own points-of-interest from Google Maps on your home computer, then load them onto the KW-NT30HD using the SD card.

Tap into the great sound and digital power of HD Radio™

HD Radio pumps up the sound quality of participating local stations, so that FM approaches CD quality, while AM sounds like traditional FM. And HD Radio really gives you your bass back, so you'll notice a big difference if you have subs. Plus, stations can broadcast additional content on a secondary frequency — for example, your local NPR station might broadcast the BBC news feed on their "HD-2" channel. As an added bonus, connect your iPod® or iPhone® and tune into an HD Radio station, and you can "tag" the songs you like for purchasing later from the iTunes store.

iHeartRadio gives you over 750 free radio stations

Download the free iHeartRadio iPhone app and you'll get over 750 of America's favorite local radio stations, as well as channels hosted by Christina Aguilera, the Eagles, Weezer, and others. Once you connect your iPhone, you can navigate iHeartRadio stations using the KW-NT30HD's touchscreen. You'll see album art and song info, plus you can use iHeartRadio's search screen to find music.

Save your favorite stations as you go, and you'll have easy access to them later. You can dial in your hometown stations while you're out of town, too. iHeartRadio also gives you local traffic reports, which is nice if you're ever out of range of an HD Radio station.

Hands-free calling, plus listen to iPhone apps

Built-in Bluetooth® technology lets you make hands-free calls in your vehicle. When a call comes in, the receiver mutes the music and you'll hear the caller over your vehicle's speakers. You can mount the included microphone in a convenient spot for maximum sound quality.

If you're an iPhone user, you can send audio from your apps to the KW-NT30HD over the Bluetooth connection. For instance, you can run your PANDORA® Internet radio app and listen to it over your speakers. You can also stream tunes you've loaded on any other compatible device.

Great for your iPod or iPhone

Just connect your iPod or iPhone to the front USB slot, and you'll be using the receiver's controls to browse your tunes and playlists in no time. JVC's 2-Way Control lets your passengers use the iPod itself to control your music while it's connected to the radio — and you'll still see song details on the display.

iPod note: If you're going to use your iPod with this receiver, be sure to check "Details" for specific iPod model compatibility with this receiver or its optional iPod adapter.

Detachable face

The KW-NT30HD features a detachable face — great security if you park on a city street. JVC includes a really nice soft case so you can keep it free from scratches.

Music and movies

Watch your favorite DVDs while you're parked, or connect a screen in the back so your passengers can watch while you drive. iPhone users can stream movies through the Netflix app when the car is parked. The KW-NT30HD gives you lots of ways to play your digital tunes, too. You can load your favorite MP3 and WMA files on a CD, USB drive, or SD card — the KW-NT30HD will play 'em all. Load a DVD full of music files and you'll have enough tunes for a road trip from Boston to San Diego.

A powerful amplifier belts out your music and movies, while a 7-band EQ adjusts the sound for your vehicle. Add an optional satellite radio tuner for access to a wealth of entertainment. Three sets of gold-plated preamp outputs let you add amps and subs for a complete car entertainment system.

JVC KW-NT30HD

This unit was easy to install, easy to set up, easy to understand the controls. I like the Radio / Nav system better than the factory system in my wife's car. Looks, acts, and feels like a factory system. Lots of useful features. Compared to other brands / models the price was very good without giving up features.

Pros:Good features, easy to use, connected right up to my Tacoma's wiring. Steering wheel controls work when using the optional interface from Axxess.

Product Research

Touchscreen Display

Detachable Motorized TFT LCD Touchxcreen Monitor: The
KW-NT30HD features a motorized 6.1" TFT Active Matrix, 16:9 touchscreen monitor. The pixel resolution of the display is
336,960 (480 x 234 x RGB). The LCD serves as a video
monitor, system information display and touchscreen control panel. The unit has
a front-loading, disc-slot to make loading your disc easier because there is no
panel to slide or fold-down. You can detach the
touchscreen LCD monitor and place it in its supplied soft face case to prevent
theft.

Picture Adjust: Brightness, Contrast, Color, and Tint can
each be adjusted from -5 to +5 (during video playback).

Selectable Aspect Modes: You can choose from four aspect
modes for the in-dash display when viewing a still image or video:

Regular: For 4:3 source material, 4:3 and 16:9 pictures
display with black bars on either side (16:9 images are compressed).

Full: Expands 4:3 pictures horizontally to fill the
entire width of the screen, distorting the picture slightly but retaining
full image height.

Zoom: Expands a 4:3 LB image to fill the screen.

Auto: The correct aspect mode is automatically chosen
based on the incoming signal.

Wallpaper: You can select the display background from one of five
preset choices.

Hard-Key Controls: In addition to
the head unit's touchscreen monitor, the KW-NT30HD features hard-key controls
along the left edge of the screen. The controls included a rotary knob and
push-button keys.

Variable Button Illumination: The JVC KW-NT30HD allows you to adjust the
unit's touchscreen and hard-key button illumination independently. It offers 7 color presets
(Blue, Aqua, Green, Yellow, Amber, Red, and Purple) for the hard-key button
illumination. Additionally, there is a user preset, allowing you to individually
adjust the intensity of Red, Green, and Blue from 0 to 31. There is also a
"Scan" setting which scans through all of the 7 available preset colors
continuously. The unit's touchscreen buttons can be set to either Blue, Aqua, Green, Yellow, Amber,
Red, Purple, or White.

Adjustable Dimmer: When 12 volts is applied to the
illumination lead (orange/white) and the dimmer is set to Auto, the display will
dim automatically when you turn on your vehicle's exterior or interior lights.
The dimmer can also be set to Off (normal brightness at all times), On (display
is always dimmed), or Dimmer Time Set (you program the time for the dimmer to
turn off and on). You can also manually adjust the display brightness (-5 to +5).

Parking Brake Detection: To prevent displaying video
while the vehicle is in motion, the green wire in the supplied 16-pin harness
must be connected to the vehicle's parking brake detection circuit. While
the vehicle is in motion (parking brake
off), you can still view all of the other displays and menus.

2-DIN Chassis: The JVC KW-NT30HD has a 2-DIN chassis (also known as
Double DIN), and will fit in many vehicles with a large dash
opening. The unit can be ISO-mounted using factory brackets, or Euro-mounted
using the supplied mounting sleeve.

Onboard Navigation

Built-In Navigation: The KW-NT30HD
features a built-in GPS Navigation system with maps of the United States
(including Hawaii and Alaska), Canada, and Puerto Rico; powered by Google Maps. Map data is stored on the unit's flash memory and
the connected GPS antenna helps to pinpoint your vehicle's current location.
Once a destination is set, the unit provides turn-by-turn voice and visual guidance through
your vehicle's speakers and the unit's display monitor; using NAVTEQ navigation
software.

GPS Antenna: The KW-NT30HD features a GPS antenna with a magnetic base
designed to mount to the exterior of your vehicle. The GPS antenna comes
supplied with a self-adhesive pad in case you cannot find a metal
surface to attach the antenna directly to.

Visual/Voice Guidance (with Text-to Speech): When you approach a turn, the KW-NT30HD guides
you with voice guidance (Text-to-Speech) through your vehicle's front speakers
and visual indications on the KW-NT30HD's screen. The unit offers 3 voice
guidance languages including English, Spanish and French; with adjustable volume
(0-20). The unit's voice guidance can be output from the Front, Left Front, or
Right Front speakers.

Map Views: The map scrolls automatically so that your position is
always at the center of the map. You can select from
different map views:

3D Map Heading Up: The map is
displayed in a "heading up" mode, and in a three-dimensional view. The
direction is displayed with a compass icon.

2D Heading Up: The map
rotates so that you are always displayed heading "upwards." The direction is
displayed with a compass icon.

2D North Up: The map view is
oriented with north "upwards," like normal paper maps. The direction you are
heading to is displayed at the upper right corner of the screen with an icon
such as "NE."

Night Map Mode: Night Map

On/Off or set to Auto so the map display dims when you turn on your vehicle's
headlights (the unit's illumination control lead connect is required for Auto
mode).

Magnified View: A magnified
map is displayed when approaching your next turn.

Lane Guidance: The KW-NT30HD provides Lane Guidance to help

used.

Phone Number

Search a destination by entering its telephone
number using the unit's on-screen keypad.

Coordinates

Search by entering the latitude and
longitude.

Note: Moving at a specific speed (6+ MPH) engages safety
measures in the navigation system to encourage safe driving. Only instantly

HD Radio station, you only have to press the head unit's "Tag" button and the
song's information will be saved to your connected iPod. The saved songs will
then show up in a playlist called "Tagged" in iTunes the very next time you sync
your iPod to your PC. Then you just need to click, buy, and download the song
you tagged directly from the Apple iTunes Music Store.

Multicasting: In addition to conventional broadcasts, with
HD Radio broadcasting, it is possible to choose from up to 8 multicast programs
(HD1 to HD8 and analog). There are also data programs for each program.

Display Information: AM/FM digital stations can offer text
and data such as artist names and song titles. The built-in HD Radio tuner
displays song title, artist and station information on the display of the JVC
KW-NT30HD.

Digital/Analog Tuning: You can setup the KW-NT30HD to search both
analog and digital radio stations, only HD Radio stations, and analog radio
stations only.

Digital/Analog Presets: You can set up to 18 FM and 6 AM
digital/analog presets stations as presets (HD Radio multicast channels can also
be preset). Presets can be set manually, or automatically using Strong-station
Sequential Memory (SSM).

Mono Mode: If an analog FM stereo broadcast is hard to
receive, you can manually switch the tuner to Mono operation.

IF Filter: You can also switch the analog tuner's IF filter to Wide or
Auto to increase/decrease the sensitivity.

SiriusConnect Dock: Select dock-and-play and
portable SIRIUS radios can be controlled using the JVC KS-SRA100 SIRIUS
adapter (item number
105KSRA100, sold separately) and the SC-VDOC1 dock (item number
607SCVDOC1, sold separately).

Audio Section

MOSFET Amplifier: The KW-NT30HD is equipped with a MOSFET
amplifier. Compared to conventional power supplies, the MOSFET amplification
circuit is smaller and more efficient, and it delivers increased power with less
distortion and absolutely zero on/off switching noise. More power means louder
and cleaner music at higher volumes because you're not pushing the limits of the
amplification circuit.

CEA2006 Compliant: The power specifications for the
KW-NT30HD are compliant with the CEA2006 Mobile Amplifier Power Testing and
Measurement standards from the Consumer Electronics Association (CEA). These
standards were developed as a way to equitably compare power specs from model to
model and between manufacturers. The power output specs for the KW-NT30HD are as
follows:

Amplifier Gain Control: When you are using the KW-NT30HD with factory speakers (or those rated to less
than 50 watts peak), the Amplifier Gain Control can limit the amount of power
being sent to those speakers. When the Amp Gain Control is set to "low," the
volume control ranges from 0 (minimum) to 30 (maximum). When using speakers
rated higher than 50 watts peak, you can set the Amp Gain Control to "high," and
the volume control will range from 0 to 50.

7-Band Equalizer: Along with a flat preset, there are 8
other preset EQ curves and 3 user programmable fields; Natural, Dynamic, Vocal Boost, Bass Boost, Super Bass, Rhythm, Relax, and
Acoustic; as well as User 1, User 2, and User 3. The user presets can be
adjusted to your preference and stored in memory. For each User preset, you can
independently adjust the following frequencies: 45 Hz, 120 Hz, 315 Hz, 800 Hz,
2.4 kHz,
6.3 kHz, and 15 kHz. The level of each frequency can be adjusted from
-10dB to +10dB in 2dB increments.

Source Volume: The input level of each source (other than
FM) is adjustable relative to the FM radio volume, so there isn't a significant
volume difference when changing sources. Each source is individually adjustable
from -12 to +12.

Adaptive Volume: When this function is activate, the KW-NT30HD automatically
increase the volume level (both for Navigation and audio/video) as the car
speeds up. You can set this feature to Min, Mid, Max, or Off.

Dynamic Range Compression: This function reduces a Dolby
Digital soundtrack's dynamic range so you can hear quieter dialog without being
overwhelmed by loud sections. You can choose a setting of Auto or On.

AV Connections

Audio/Video Input: The
head unit features a front and rear panel audio/video input. The unit's front
audio/video input consists of a 3.5mm AV jack, while the rear panel audio/video input consists of left
and right RCA audio jacks and an RCA composite video jack, allowing you to
connect external equipment to this head unit. The audio/video inputs can be set
to one of the following modes:

AV: Choose when connecting an audio/video component.

Audio: Choose when connecting an audio component.

Off: Select when no component is connected.

Video Output: The Video Output (RCA composite video jack)
allows you to connect an optional external monitor. You can choose one of the
following monitor types for the output to the external monitor(s):

16:9: Select this when the aspect ratio of your monitor
is 16:9.

4:3 Letter Box: Select this when the aspect ratio of
your monitor is 4:3, when viewing a widescreen picture black bars appear on
the top and bottom of the screen.

4:3 Pan Scan: Select this when the aspect ratio of your
monitor is 4:3, when viewing a widescreen picture, the black bars do not
appear; however, the left and right edges of the picture will not be shown
on screen.

Camera In: The Camera input consists of a composite video
connector which allows you to connect an optional rear-view camera (105KVCM1K,
sold separately). The unit features a reverse gear signal wire (purple/white), that when hooked
up will switch the KW-NT30HD's display to the rear-view camera input.

Optional Input Adapter: An optional JVC Line Input Adapter (257KSU58),
or the P.I.E. Auxiliary Input Adapter for JVC (469JVCJRCA), both sold separately, may be used to provide an additional auxiliary
audio input on this unit.
This feature allows you to connect a portable audio player, such as a portable
MP3 player, to this unit as an additional audio source. The adapter connects to
the J-port on this unit.

Remote Control

Steering Wheel Remote Compatibility: The head unit features
an OEM steering wheel remote control input on the rear of the chassis that lets you keep your vehicle's factory radio steering
wheel remote controls when used with the optional PAC SWI-JACK Steering Wheel
